The lazy huge alligator went and laid by Nazima’s side on the rock. “We were followed.” He told Nazima and she became alert. “Do not worry, it was only the Mer king and I sense no danger from him. He might just be concerned about the stranger we are with.” Nazima’s demon told her. “He shouldn’t have followed us thought, we can take care of ourselves.” Nazima responded. “Tell that to him.” The alligator said.“My queen, that thing is so huge.” Exclaimed Osmond, now that he was seeing the alligator up close, he could not believe it’s size. Yes, they have alligators in Africa, and they were huge but not as big as this one. “Please tell him not to call me a thing.” The alligator warned. “He doesn’t like being called a thing when he is part of me.” Nazima told Osmond.“My apologies my queen, I meant no disrespect, can I pet him?” Osmond asked. “Let him try to touch me and he will lose that hand.” Nazima could not help but laugh. Her demon was very grumpy. “No Osmond, no one is allowed to t

Early the following morning Nazima, Osmond and Caleb left for their journey to Africa. General Fisher got to work on his place to reinstate Caleb as king. He got the Merpeople on his side as well as his people. Now that he knew about other clans besides the ones close by, the general sent word to them as well.He was working fast and if things worked according to his plan, then Caleb would be king when he returned. Those thoughts made the general happy. Back at the palace Zane was busy with paperwork and finishing what Nazima left when a visitor was announced. Zane gave permission and the stranger walked in.Zane stopped what he was doing and looked at the stranger. The man was not from around and Zane wondered if she was also from Africa. “Greetings Zane, hand of the queen. My apologies for just showing up like this but I bring grave news.” Zane was alert just by hearing that. “Please sit down and tell me who you are and where you come from.” He offered and the stranger took a seat.

In the middle of the ocean halfway to Africa. Nazima and her crew had taken a break so they could hunt as they were getting hungry. The two men both offered to go hunting for their queen, Nazima allowed then to do as they pleased as she was also tired of being in the middle with the two. On the road when she was conversing with Osmond, Caleb would be frowning and same applied with Osmond when she was talking to Caleb.Then when she brought up a topic that was general and required both to participate, they would but end up arguing due to differences in opinions. She was getting a headache and when they offered to go hunting, she easily agreed just to have a few minutes of peace. But her moment of peace was short lived, and her demon began speaking. “Something is wrong back home.” Nazima sighed feeling drained, she has not even resolved the issue in Africa yet and now this. “What seems to be the issue?” she asked thinking of going back. “I can’t tell you that, we must get to Africa and

The city was buzzing with people going about their business. Some doing shopping, others sitting outside in restaurants enjoying their lunch. Venders shouting and advertising their businesses, trying to lure people in, to get them to buy their products. Those who have never been on land were amazed by everything they were seeing. They would stop and stare in awe of everything. How different the land was to the water. “Keep up we still have a lot to do and people to see. We are on a mission people, let’s not forget our purpose.” Zane reminded everyone of the reason they were on land, he had forgotten that he was the same way when he first got to land. He was amazed by everything but this time it was different, it was not his first time and he had seen it all. But the others were still amazed even by the cars moving up and down the road. Zane stopped a taxi and they all got in. he was headed to the first friend he made when they first got on land with Nazima. “What is this, how it mo

Austin had a huge smile on his face the moment he walked into the resort. Natalie returned the smile. “Where is he?” he could not hold his excitement. Natalie thought he was simply happy he would be meeting a good friend.“Where is he?” Natalie smiled politely. “He is in his room but said to get him when you arrive.” Austin was pleased to hear that. It seemed that Zane was still as naïve as before.That made Austin really happy, it seemed his job of robbing Zane was going to be very easy. “So, what are you waiting for? Get him.” Natalie nodded and left. Austin sat comfortably on the couch waiting patiently for his prey.His greed could not be matched at that moment, the man had gotten so rich from the gold he got from Zane before that now he is one of the top five billionaires in the country.But that was not enough for Austin, as they say, the more you get the more you want. When Zane appeared, he stood and approached him with a smile. “My good friend, it’s good to see you.” Zane sm
